Chapter Two: Identifying
Jim built systems into the social fabric, systems of reporting that allowed him to identify those who carried the genetic sequences he was looking for, structures to build upon.
A trait in the Iris, the earlobe, the shape of a thumb, the texture of hair, physical traits that marked them as distinct.
Cognitive testing followed.
